Mark Gauvin traveled from Hudson, New Hampshire. He had no idea the mall was closed.

“Every entrance was locked and we finally got in and they said it was going to open at four and now it’s not open. Well, it’s stinks,” Gauvin told WBZ.

The mall initially said it would be open by noon, then by 2 p.m., on Sunday–but Burlington Police later said there was no estimated time for the mall’s opening, and asked the public to avoid the area. Later Sunday, the mall announced they are planning to reopen at 9 a.m. Monday.

A similar story for a family that had traveled from Everett.

“We were surprised about it and we thought we were going to be able to shop but no,” Dennis Arias said.
